Mrs. Yvonne Johnsen
Speaker at Vespers
Gives Illustrated Talk on
Sacred Symbols
Vespers Sunday night opened with
„ prelude, “Prayer” by Beethoven,
played by Miss Rose Siewers. The
minpH in sinoHno- “Dav
group then joined in singing “Day
is Dying in the West.” Miss Mar
garet McLean read selections from
the Psalms. Miss Lois Naff accom
panied by Miss Rose Siewers sang
'Rest in the Lord.”
Miss Courtland iPrestion introduced
Urs. Yvonne Jolmsen who gave an
illustrated talk on sacred symbols in
art. Since earliest times religion has
played a great part in developing the
various arts. To illustrate this, one
should make a round of the museums
in Italy, France, and England, and
the Metropolitain in New York.
The printraakers, those who first
printed pictures in woodcuts and
gravings, were the first to use sym
bolism. That of the deity was first
represented. Until the twentieth cen
tury the only symbol to indicate God
was a hand. Since the sexteenth cen
tury the triangle and the circle have
been symbolic of eternity . One must
study the pictures of the old masters
carefully to find the circle or the tri
angle. Mrs. Johnsen showed a wood-
cut made in the fifteenth century in
which the Deity was represented by
a complete shape. Since the sixteenth
century, it has been considered pro
fane to represent the Deity in any way
but by a circle or a triangle. God
is represented by a halo, and
J the Holy Ghost by adove,
the Savior is always surrounded by
doves, the seven gifts of the
spirit. Seven was the lucky number
of the middle ages. Trinity is a com
bination of three triangles, circles,
fishes or human figures.
Durer did a series of thirty wood
cuts describing the life of the virgin,
some of which Mrs. Johnsen showed.
The virgin is sometimes represented
as the sun, the moon, and as a woman
clothed with the sim and having the
moon under her feet. Birds are used
to represent the soul. The unveiled
madonna doesn’t occur until about

“CLASS” IS KEYNOTE
OF LAST WEEK END’S
ENTERTAINMENTS
Last Saturday night the I. R. J
Council members, aided by a select
group of young ladies from Salem
Academy, a swell dinner from the
kitchen, and fifty costumes of the
most deevine clothes from Sosnik’s
The Ideal, The Anchor, Davis, and
Cravens gave everybody a good time
and a heart busting with new ideas
for spring clothes.
Really, there were 2 fashion shows!
Certain fair maids from the institu
tion across the ditch were the i
of stylishness. Tiaras and silver
dais gleamed everywhere, and soft
conversation, gentle murmurs, and a
low croon from Helen Litz added to
the atmosphere of “elegance subdued’
Befween pineapple fritters and steak
' mushrooms, everybody enjoyed
it—this is a puny pun— toast of
every description except dry! In oth
er words, health, wealth and dirty
digs Were drunk to all the honorees,
who (you know this already) were the
Academy seniors.
Dr. Rondy propounded riddles—did
you hear the one about the beggar
who had a brother and an aunt Emma
and what relation was Uncle Herbert?
And Lucy James sang — and then!
Thrills and heartthrobs and sinking
feelings when one realized the con
tents of one’s pocketbook—(or rather
the lack of contents after subtracting
the movie stubs)—the fashion show!
Didn’t Cokey look S. S. and G. In that
;vening dress, and could you ever
vear a turned up hat, and would it
:ver be possible to learn Phyllis
Clapp’s walk? Everybody was cute
and the audience oh’d and ah’d and
noitfced the ruffles, Izzy Pbllocfe’s
bustle, and the bow on Marguerite
Goodman’s suit and made vows then
and there to write home for great
grandma’s high-necked blouse, packed
away in the attic—it would be ultra
modern with that old last year’s suit
The show was more than a success,
id everybody, even if she did wither
under this exquisite form of self-tor
ture—feels that a “good time
had by all”.
Judge Parker, United States Circmt
Judge, was speaker at Y. P. M. on
March 7. He was charmingly pre
sented by our friend, Mrs. Lindsay
Patterson, who, in her introduction re
ferred to politics as the Science of the
Government rather than as the defini
tion of politics as given by Edwin
Burke as being the “Madness of many,
and the benefit of few.” “We are
the love of our country,” she
finished, “We’re Americans all!”
Judge Parker spoke of “The System
of Principles of a Constitutional Gov
ernment.” The question is asked,
“Why has Democracy succeeded in the
United States?” The answer: We
have discovered three necessary prin
ciples of Constitutional Government:
1, Protection of the individual; 2,
Protection of the rights of communi
ties against powers of Central Gov
ernment; f)nd 3, Division fcetween
Legislative, Judicial, and Executive
departments of the government. The
Legislative body makes the laws, the
Judicial body interprets them, and
the Executive enforces the laws.
We have found the means of over
coming weaknesses of popular govern
ment, by giving man the freedom of
thought, speech, and conscience; the
right to be secure in his personal af
fects, life and liberty.
The United States has made a gov
ernment, combining two principles;
those of the Great State and the Small
State. The Great State tended to
develope despotism a.nd cover too
large a territory, while the Small
state offered more liberty, but was
unable to obtain liberty in face of the
power of the Great State.
The Government is made by men,
enforced by men, and interpreted by
men; but is a government of law and
We should love and adhere the
framework of the government.
America has become great because
of development of life of the indivi
dual. She has made democracy suc
ceed, and has established an era of
civilization in which the poorest can
''se in social position.
There is something sacred about
the Constitution of the United States,
because of the blood and tears that
have gone into the making. The com
ing of the machine age is no reason
to abandon Democracy. America
has become rich, has developed a form
of life under which a citizen enjoys
dignity and independence.
Mr. Gladstone thinks that the Con-
stituition is the greatest dotoumepf
ever written. In it is the future of
this republic, the future of mankind.
Out of a chaos of war, America
as able to rest not on a feeble whim,
it on a firm constitution of the law
of the land.
